16 Great Neck RoadNorth <br />wlashyee, _Massachusetts o2649 <br />Glenn McCarthy- Ms. Faulkner read a submission from Mr. McCarthy, he would like to <br />consider adding a statement to facilitate the accurate provision of drainage and sewage and <br />protect existing. Consider changing the sentence to forbid the extension of existing non - <br />conformities. It should read no extension or non -conformity should be issued without a <br />variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals for all properties, except those in floodplain. Pond <br />neighborhoods should be eliminated and make a stricter standard for the entire town. <br />Subsection A, consider defining increasing intensity of a setback more clearly. The second <br />group is for all properties within the floodplain zone and Poppy Overlay. Consider forbidding <br />the continuing or extending or altering preexisting nonconformities when rebuilding. This was <br />the standard for decades until it was changed to enable development. If expansions of non - <br />conformities will be allowed in the floodplain or in Poppy Overlay, then consider more clearly <br />defining the increases in the sizes of the buildings footprint. Consider language where a <br />complete rebuild triggers coming into compliance. <br />Ms. Faulkner shared from others, as several people called her about this, asking that the bylaw <br />be simplified to a third grade level. She is going to ask the Town Planner and will refer back to <br />this later. <br />Marjorie Hecht- There is a flaw in an otherwise good proposal. While giving more protection to <br />ocean front, it does nothing to address severe environmental overbuilding on lakes, ponds, <br />marshes, and other wetlands. Explicitly include the necessity to protect all Mashpee's waters. <br />Going into the next phase of sewer, there is no sense to move forward with a bylaw that would <br />allow an increase in pollution. It has been a burden on tax payers to clean up the waters. <br />Stricter standards to Poppy should go to the other ends of town. Having two standards makes <br />no sense, also speaks to simplifying. All areas around water bodies need protection. Water <br />quality is already fragile in our ponds. Aside from town wide sewer, no present septic system <br />technology avoids adding to the pollution problem. Instituting one Raze and Replace standard <br />will make the bylaw simpler and fair. We need to protect the middle income majority <br />population, protect the summer tourism, if our waters are polluted people won't come to swim, <br />and we need to protect the history, and small town character. <br />Lynne Barbee- She has spent hours attending ZBA meetings, where they accommodate <br />builders not the neighborhoods. She recalled the Board and one attorney talking about bylaws <br />to make building easier. We need a new and restrictive bylaw. The Zoning Board has too much <br />discretion to approve. The term `not substantially detrimental' currently rests in the opinion of <br />the ZBA and attorneys. With the goal of reducing non -conforming structures, having two sets <br />of standards for different parts of town makes no sense. We witness what has become of our <br />town. The town deserves better zoning regulations. <br />PA <br />
